Wood species and facts about

Cherry wood also called Sweet Cherry has light pinkish brown color, when freshly cut, darkening to a deeper golden brown with time and upon exposure to light. It is native to Europe, Anatolia, Maghreb, and western Asia, from the British Isles south to Morocco and Tunisia. The species is widely cultivated in other regions and has become naturalized in North America and Australia.

Wenge
Millettia laurentii is a legume tree from Africa and native to the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea., very dark in color with a distinctive figure and a strong partridge wood pattern. The wood is heavy and hard, suitable for flooring and staircases.
Several musical instrument makers employ wenge in their products. Alembic Guitars have used this wood on numerous occasions for custom instruments. Mosrite used it for bodies of their Brass Rail models...etc.

Finish and components

The bowtie is finished and protected with varnish, which gives the accessory a satin gloss. Not too shiny, but stylish and attractive...for sure!

It is equipped with a hand-sewn adjustable and elastic strap.

Veneer

We are using natural veneers. Wood veneers are thinly cut sheets of natural wood, usually less than 0.6 mm (1/40”) thick.

Sustainability

Each veneer sheet is a treasure that has meaning, history, charge. Thanks to the small thickness of veneer as a type of material, we are able to use this resource as sparingly as possible and achieve predictable and structurally sustainable forms, reducing waste and environmental impacts. To make a bracelet from solid wood, by turning for example, we have to throw away 70% of the material. Compared to this method, the yield is about 90% when forming a bent-glued veneer. We use the remaining 10% scraps for branding and decoration.

Idea for:

 * Handmade gift for fifth anniversary ("Wooden wedding") or other event.

 * If made to order, all kinds of personalization can be applied. If you need another leather color, ask us. Changing the leather takes about 10 minutes if we have the right color of course! If you need a custom design, please contact us!

Veneer is regarded as the most noble product of wood. You can sense the natural source in each and every veneer sheet. Wood has a memory, history and charge. Every tree hides a story in its texture and each story is unique. Like people - outwardly similar in some features, you can divide them into types. These have that kind of leaves; those have such bark and third are about 200 meters high. But if you select two trees of the same species, cut logs and look inside them ... you will find out - they are not the same at all...
